BrindisiAges 18 years+ - NCT07027488RecruitingPhase 1
Testing AB821 for advanced solid tumors that resist immunotherapy
This trial tests a new study drug, AB821, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. The goal is to see if AB821 can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06763159RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HS-20124 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called HS-20124 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06764680RecruitingPhase 2
Oral drugs and radiation for advanced colorectal cancer after standard therapy
This trial tests a combination of oral chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, with or without radiation, for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06010433Recruiting
CERAMENT G treatment tracking study
This study tracks how well the CERAMENT G device works for people getting it as part of their treatment. It helps doctors gather real-world safety and effectiveness information.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06669663Recruiting
Hypoxia and metabolism in esophageal and stomach cancer
This trial looks at how low oxygen levels (hypoxia) affect the metabolism of esophageal and stomach cancers. It may help doctors understand why some cancers grow or resist treatment, possibly leading to better therapies.
LondonAges 18–90 - NCT06764641Recruiting
Breath test for digestive system cancers
This trial studies a simple breath test to detect cancers of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colon. It is for people who have been referred by their doctor for tests because they have symptoms that might be caused by cancer.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07269145RecruitingPhase 1
Testing TQB3122 capsules in advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental oral capsule (TQB3122) for safety and early signs of effectiveness in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies. It is for patients who are relatively healthy and have specific cancer types like ovarian, breast, or prostate cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07528066Recruiting
Surgery After Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
This study follows patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who receive combination chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. Researchers will track how well surgery works after this pre-surgical treatment and compare different surgical approaches.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT07517419Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Pressurized chemotherapy for gastric cancer spread in abdomen
This trial tests a specialized chemotherapy delivery method called PIPAC—where chemotherapy is sprayed directly into the abdomen under pressure—for patients with gastric cancer that has spread to the abdominal lining. The goal is to deliver stronger doses of chemotherapy directly to where the cancer is, potentially helping patients who aren't candidates for major surgery.
